    Master League Changes for PES 2013 (Adam from WENB)

    Not sure if you guys saw this yet. Found it on pesfan. Thoughts?


    Master League Changes for PES 2013 (Adam from WENB)



    INTRODUCTION

    Initially, Master League looks the same as last year. Choosing real life players or fake players is now a simple option, as Konami have removed the PES Shop. More on this element at a later date. After you choose the look and nationality of your persona, you enter the press conference where you are presented to the media.

    Sat at your desk, you are introduced to your secretary, and she talks you through everything in ML, similar to last year. You are briefly introduced to the new boots acquisition and shop within ML, but nothing in-depth.

    The start of change

    As you enter your first match, you’ll realize all your players are wearing plain black boots. Not only that, the opposition players are also wearing plain boots. After the match, I was awarded a pair of Nike boots.

    In ML, you unlock boots to assign to players, and this will give them a stat boost. The boots you acquire though can only be assigned to one player. I unlocked around 4 boots in my first season. They have different abilities, so by unlocking the Adidas F50 it will give the player I assign it to a boost in pace.

    It’s important to remember that the opposition are going through the same process. I played Barcelona in the CL, and players like Messi and Iniesta were wearing fake boots. Not one of the opposition player was wearing a boot they would in real life, but they had on different boots with different abilities.


    Micro-boosting

    In ML you have a new menu called Items, which consists of ‘Shop, Item List and Equipment’. The shop has access to 18 different stat boosting abilities, from strength training with dumbbells, to a cycling machine that helps stamina. These items cost points, which you gain from playing the game in general. So, Konami have removed PES Shop of old, and implemented it into ML.

    What’s key to remember is that each element purchased can only be assigned to one player. Also, some elements last for a set amount of time, like a season.

    Each player in ML now has an Item menu, which allows 3 slots, plus a boot slot. So you can give them 3 different stat boosts, and then boots to compliment that.

    As an example, you could give a player like Andy Carroll stat boosts in dribbling and pace, and Adidas F50 boots.


    Overall

    To sum up, ML has become a mode that looks to move away from a traditional approach over the years, and incorporates a less authentic approach but heavy game elements in a
    bid to keep you playing for longer.

    Hopefully the modders can remove this "feature"

      That feature sounds really silly, hopefully is not in BAL mode because I really don't play Master League.

        Agreed. I want a game that plays like real football not some arcade version!

          Boost? Really? Quite honestly this may make me skip PES despite the solid demo game play. Pretty ridiculous.

            It's all about gameplay for me. I am not surprised by what they are doing though - but it is all abut how the actual game plays on the field. FIFA 12 had a great off field activity and features - but the game play required SO MUCH help...it's unplayable for me.

              Isn't a version of that already in BAL? I could swear if you changed your boots in BAL it said it woudl affect stats or am I wrong?

                I agree. So far from the videos I have seen Fifa does look good. If the fifa demo does not impress I will be sticking with PES. Even if they did mess up ML you can always play season mode or BAL. Although I don't think there are transfers or progrssion in season mode.

                  The shoes help increase your stats. Mainly shooting power, accuracy, acceleration, and speed.

                  You still have to allocate training points, which is more important than the shoes. IMO.

                  Without more clarification, I'm assuming you still train everyone but the bonuses are more like BAL?

                    That is what I was thinking too so I am not too worried about it until we get more informaion. Other everyone wearing generic boots it may not be that bad.

                      NO MORE PRE-EDITING THEN IN PES 13?

                      So if ML is making you "micro-boost" your players, does that mean that you no longer have the pre-editing feature before you enter ML? What I mean is you no longer have the option to change player stats, jersey's, boots, stadiums, chants, etc.? This is one of the best features in WE/PES throughout the years and the one feature that I most enjoy. Creating your own kits, renaming teams, there's a lot of satisfaction in that. I know I'm not the only one that likes this.

                      Regardless, I hope this isn't affected OR that there's an option to have full editing control instead of it being dictated by how many points you earn. What a beating that will be.

                        This news irks me. One of the things I like about PES is how players wear different boots, real boots too.

                        Hell, in BAL my guy wears the same boots I do in my Sunday League.

                          Well, this sucks.

                          So, even if you have an option file with certain boots set, it all gets erased once in ML?

                            As an avid offline ML player, this news is not what I wanted to hear. I hope there is an option to turn this off or atleast have a league mode without it.

                              I think this is what Jim Sterling at destructoid calls being "Konami'd"

                              This is the first time I can remember a competing sim sports franchise saying anything like "incorporates a less authentic approach" as a positive.

                              If this was 2k13 I think this site would implode and crash.
